Yeah ... me. Because no matter how much chocolate I ate, I couldn't fill the dark pit in my soul. A darkness born from blood alchemy. A darkness that reeked of the black magic I now knew I was capable of creating. Maybe it was time to walk away. But what if there were important things left to do? What if I was the only one who could do what needed to be done?>Shadows, Maps, and Other Ancient Magic is the fourth book in the Dowser series, which is set in the same universe as the Oracle, Reconstructionist, Amplifier, Archivist, and Misfits of the Adept Universe series.

Veiled chameleons as pets It's easy to understand why chameleons are so popular among reptile enthusiasts. They have very unique body plans, incredibly long tongues used to catch prey, and independently mobile eyes. They're also capable of changing colors in breath-taking fashion and make excellent photography subjects. But unfortunately, most chameleon species are challenging to maintain in captivity. They are not only somewhat fragile, but they also require special habitats and care regimens, which are too difficult for most novice keepers to provide.

Fans of KF Breen, Patricia Briggs, Ilona Andrews, BR Kingsolver and Faith Hunter - this is your next must read! Readers of Sleight of Hand say: I rarely do this - but I am actually willing to compare this new author to my favorites. The team of Ilona Andrews and their "Kate Daniels" series and Patricia Briggs and her "Mercy Thompson" novels, as well as Faith Hunter's "Jane Yellowrock" are a hard act to follow. Intense storylines, fully developed realistic characters, exceptional world building, the list goes on and on. And, so far, the author of "Sleight of Hand" fits right in there with my favorites. - Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Loved this book. It's a bit of a cross between those great hard-boiled detective novels of the 1930s and 1940s and more modern Urban Fantasy by authors like Jennifer Estep and Faith Hunter. Amber is a great heroine and this book is filled with secondary characters I can't help but like. I'm already hooked. - Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Amber kicks butt like no other. This is fast-paced, action-packed and does not slow down for a second. - Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ WOW well I have just added an author to my top 5 and auto-buy list. This story was just plain awesome. I totally agree with some of the other reviewers, this falls in the same league as Kate Daniels, Jane Yellowrock and Cat And Bones. Kickass heroine who is believable (ex military special ops), Vampires who don't go poof the magic dragon in sunlight or upon death. No insta love ( which I have come to dislike). Excellent world building without information dumps. Very good plot line with underlying overall plot line. Top class urban fantasy! - Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
